Mine just passed California smog a couple months ago. I don't have a smoking problem, so I do not think my seals are that bad. Plus, the most oil I used was about a quart per 1200 miles. This truck had only synthetic oil for the first 100k miles with 7500 mile oil change intervals. Maybe the syn oil helped?
